Andy Martin Manchester news conference asks: “Where’s Jeanne?” Andy says Jeanne Shaheen is “MIA” on “NSA”

New Hampshire Republican Party leader and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin will hold a Manchester news conference today, June 13th to criticize Jeanne Shaheen for being “missing in action, MIA” on “NSA.” “Where’s Jeanne?” Andy will demand while he stands in front of her office. “She has been in hiding. Barack Obama said last week he briefed every senator. I assume that means laggards such as Shaheen were briefed. So she was briefed. But she has said nothing and done nothing. Shaheen is a ‘do nothing’ senator who is totally over her head in the current national security debate. Career politicians such as Shaheen are often lost in the senate, were real policy is made. They are used to being told what to do, or doing nothing. New Hampshire’s voice is being cut by 50% in the great national security debate. It is time for Shaheen to retire and stop being a seat holder.”

ANNOUNCEMENT OF MANCHESTER NEWS CONFERENCE TODAY



New Hampshire Republican leader and U. S. Senate candidate Andy Martin says Jeanne Shaheen is “MIA” 0n “NSA”



Andy says Shaheen says Shaheen should retire because she is not up to the job of being a U. S. Senator



(MANCHESTER, NH) (June 13, 2013) New Hampshire Republican leader and corruption fighter Andy Martin will hold a Manchester news conference today, June 13th to criticize Senator Jeanne Shaheen for being “missing in action” on the “National Security Agency” controversy (MIA on NSA).



“Jeanne is a career politician,” Andy says. “She wants to collect as many public pensions as she can, cash as many paychecks as she can, and enjoy a comfortable life doing as little as possible. The U. S. Senate is no place to retire. We are in the midst of a major national security controversy and Shaheen is MIA on NSA. Last week President Obama said he briefed Shaheen, but there is no word from Jeanne. She is acting as though nothing is amiss and all is well in Washington. You would never know from Shaheen’s silence that the NSA crisis even exists.



“With all due respect, Shaheen should go off to her comfortable, taxpayer-subsidized retirement and allow someone who can represent New Hampshire to speak on behalf of the state. Silence is not golden when Obama is spying on the American people and when Shaheen is doing nothing and saying nothing.



“No doubt Shaheen will say something today after yet another ‘briefing.’ But while Shaheen dithers, NSA continues to spy on every American. Obama is collecting a dossier on every citizen. Shaheen is silent because she is an Obama stooge. She is not a representative of the People of New Hampshire.”

Chicago news conference: Andy Martin demands that Mark Kirk step down as U. S. Senator

Andy Martin will hold a Chicago news conference today to state that it is time for Mark Kirk to step down as a U.S. Senator. Andy says Kirk’s disability makes him unable to engage in the taxing role of a U. S. Senator. “Mark Kirk is a ‘Potemkin Senator,’” Andy says. “He is being propped up by his staff, and by Democrats that know he has become a reliable vote for liberal Democratic policies. There would be no shame for Kirk to acknowledge that he has been the victim of a serious illness can make a ‘recovery’ but still be unable to handle the stress of public office representing millions of people. Kirk’s proposal to arrest almost twenty thousand African-American men and to implicitly hold them in a vast concentration camp harks bark to the darkest days of Apartheid in South Africa. Kirk has expressed racist sentiments in the past. He has to go. Alderman Carrie Austin had it right: Kirk’s stroke has affected his judgment - or exposed his lack of it.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Announcement of Chicago news conference Wednesday evening



Attention national and Chicago daybook/assignment editors



Andy Martin says that Mark Kirk should resign as a U. S. Senator



Andy says that Kirk’s proposal to create an Apartheid-style gulag with twenty thousand African-Americans reflects Kirk’s lack of meaningful mental functioning



Andy says that despite Kirk’s alleged “recovery,” the senator has not recovered sufficiently to do the strenuous work of a U. S. Senator



(CHICAGO) (June 5, 2013) Corruption-fighter Andy Martin will hold a news conference today, Wednesday, June 5th, to suggest that it time for Mark Kirk to step down due to his inability to properly function as a U. S. Senator.



“Mark Kirk has always expressed racist views, contrary to his latest protestations on Tuesday,” Andy says. “He called African-Americans ‘thugs’ and ‘goons’ in 2006 and 2008. Maybe Mark has forgotten he earlier remarks; I have not. There are on a web site (see www.markkirk.us link below) below. I documented Kirk’s racism in the 2010 primary. The media covered up for Kirk, the same way Clarence Page and Lynn Sweet are ‘covering’ for Kirk today (see links below).



“Now Kirk is proposing a vast Apartheid-style concentration camp for twenty-thousand African-Americans. Where would ‘Kirk’s Gulag’ be located? Kirk suggests dumping the prisoners in Western Illinois. Who would bear the cost? Obviously Kirk misspoke, because his recent stroke sometimes compels him to blurt out what is on his mind.



“Can you imagine what 20,000 new criminal cases would do to the federal courts? Or Cook County? What would State Attorney Alvarez say to that? Federal judges would have to create a Guantanamo-in-Illinois to hold 20,000 African-American prisoners. Kirk is not only an incompetent senator, he is an incompetent lawyer. He makes crazy suggestions without realizing the impact of his proposals on the real-world judicial system.



“Mr. Kirk suffered a horrible medical event. He has my sympathy. I have kept a relatively low profile on my criticism for the past fifteen months. There would be no shame for him if he admitted that he has made a strong ‘recovery’ but that his recovery is not sufficient to allow him to hold down the very strenuous job of U. S. Senator. Today Kirk is a ‘Potemkin Senator’ who is propped up by his staff, and manipulated by liberal Democrats such as Senator Dick Durbin.



“Kirk’s views do not represent either Republicans or the vast majority of Illinoisans who have been impoverished by Democratic Party thievery and profligacy.



“At a time when Republicans are trying to recruit African-American voters, Kirk is proposing to imprison them in a vast Gulag. Kirk’s remarks were sheer lunacy. We don’t need Kirk’s kind of ‘outreach.’ Kirk’s limp-wristed attempt to walk back his Apartheid remarks in a meeting with Representative Rush was not sufficient.



“Kirk needs to issue a public apology for his unvarnished racism, and he needs to start focusing on real solutions, which he is physically incapable of doing. I will address the ‘gang problem’ in a column tomorrow.



“It is time for Kirk to go. Kirk simply does not have the physical and mental capacity for the job he holds. There is no shame in my making that allegation, and there would be no shame if he admitted I was right.”

Andy Martin news conference demands that the Chicago Tribune fire Rick Pearson; a court hearing is set

Pearson, whom Andy calls a “potential highway killer.” Andy has written about Rick Pearson’s bizarre and abusive behavior, and sometimes called Pearson’s demeanor similar to that of a child abuser. “I was mistaken,” Andy says. “And I apologize. Pearson’s ‘character’ and his creepy behavior are due to his alcoholism. Pearson’s biased journalism is also infected by his alcoholism. The idea that alcoholics simply ‘blow off’ or ignore their alcoholism when they are in the workplace is not born out by the evidence. More importantly, Pearson’s offense - driving the wrong way down a one-way street - is potentially one of the most dangerous examples of alcoholic endangerment. Because Pearson was acting within the scope of his employment, the Tribune Company is liable for and is an enabler of Pearson’s alcoholism. It is time for Chicago media management to take alcoholism seriously and to stop coddling drunken reporters and writers,” Andy will state at his news conference later today. A court hearing is scheduled Thursday June 6th at 2:00 P.M. in Martin v. Pearson, Room 2302 of the Daley Center.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:



Announcement of Chicago news conference



Attention national and Chicago daybook/assignment editors



Andy Martin says that the Chicago Tribune newspaper is legally liable for the drunk driving of its employee Rick Pearson



Andy is asking Sangamon County authorities to ensure there is no obstruction of justice in prosecuting Pearson for driving the wrong way down a one-way street



Andy says Pearson has shown longstanding evidence of alcoholic impairment



Andy says the media in Chicago have been much too tolerant and much too complacent about alcoholic reporters such as Mike Royko and Neil Steinberg



(CHICAGO) (June 4, 2013) Corruption-fighter Andy Martin will hold a news conference today, Tuesday, June 4th, to announce: [1] he is demanding that the Chicago Tribune fire drunken reporter Rick Pearson; [2] he is initially asking Sangamon County authorities to investigate why a prior DUI arrest of Pearson’s was not prosecuted and [3] there is a court hearing scheduled in Martin v. Pearson at the Daley Center on June 6th at 2:00 P.M., Courtroom 2302.



Andy will also issue a partial apology to Pearson based on the demonstrated evidence of Pearson’s longstanding alcoholism.



“The Chicago Tribune is responsible for putting a potential killer on Illinois highways,” Andy will charge later today. “Rick Pearson, who has a longstanding alcoholism problem, has been allowed to drive on Illinois’ streets and highways while officially acting for the Chicago Tribune.



“I first experienced Rick Pearson’s bizarre behavior exactly a decade ago, when he sent me an irrational email. Over the following years I referred to Pearson as someone with the demeanor or mien of a ‘molester.’ For that I now apologize. I realize Pearson has a longstanding alcoholism problem and that is the source of his creepy appearance and behavior.



“The Chicago Tribune has ignored and enabled Pearson’s alcoholism and put Pearson on the state’s highways as a potential - and perhaps inevitable - killer. Today I formally demand that the Chicago Tribune fire killer-in-waiting Rick Pearson.



“I am also asking that Sangamon County officials open an investigation into why an officer claimed the Fifth Amendment in another Pearson prosecution. Do they think Sangamon County is the IRS, where public employees claim the Fifth Amendment? If we do not get proper answers I will follow up with a request to the U. S. Attorney to investigate whether Sangamon County officials or The Tribune Company or others, engaged in obstruction of justice to protect Pearson from prosecution. I will not allow a cover-up of Pearson’s current criminal behavior in Springfield (link below).



“May 31st Pearson was driving the wrong way down a one-way street and was arrested for DUI. Alcoholics who drive the wrong way on streets and highways are perhaps the most dangerous form of vehicular killers.



“Because Pearson was acting within the scope of his employment while present in Springfield, the ‘bankrupt’ Chicago Tribune was legally responsible for Pearson’s criminal behavior. If Pearson has killed or maimed someone, Tribune owners would have been fully liable. Have Tribune attorneys considered these facts?



“For decades Chicago media have treated serious alcoholism as a joke. I often saw Mike Royko drunken and incoherent. Neil Steinberg wrote a book about his alcoholic exploits (link below). Alcoholics are public enemies. They kill on public streets and highways. Alcoholism is not a joke. Because the Chicago Tribune knowingly placed an alcoholic on Illinois streets and highways the Tribune created a clear and present danger of vehicular homicide. How would they report the story if Pearson killed someone?



“It is also true that when an employer ignores and enables alcoholism, the employee becomes emboldened to keep drinking. If you keep drinking, eventually and almost inevitably you will have a serious automobile incident.



“I always thought Pearson’s creepy demeanor was due to a potential molester’s profile. I was mistaken. Pearson’s bizarre behavior, and most likely his biased and malignant journalism, is due to his alcohol problems. Alcoholism is not something you can partition off. An alcoholic sees life and sees the world through a different vision. Pearson’s biased reporting, and his reputed bribe-taking from Republican ‘Combine’ operatives, all are natural permutations of his alcoholism.



“In order to retain its remaining credibility as a media enterprise, the Chicago Tribune has no alternative but to immediately fire Rick Pearson. There is no place in the modern employment world, and particularly no place in the media employment world, for malignant alcoholics such as Mike Royko, Neil Steinberg and Rick Pearson. Alcohol kills, and alcoholics are potential killers every time they get behind the steering wheel of any vehicle,” Andy will charge later today.



The Circuit Court of Cook County has set a Thursday, June 6th 2:00 P.M. hearing in Courtroom 2302 of the Daley Center in Martin v. Pearson. The matter was previously scheduled but Andy is going to ask the court for permission to file an amended complaint adding Pearson’s alcoholism and alcohol-fueled rage against Andy to the list of charges against Pearson and the Tribune Company.
